Description

光學元件製造方法Optical component manufacturing method

本案係指一種光學元件的製造方法,特別是一種高分子材料的光學元件的製造方法。The present invention refers to a method of manufacturing an optical element, and more particularly to a method of manufacturing an optical element of a polymer material.

目前光學元件,例如透鏡鏡片,主要可以分為兩大類,即玻璃鏡片與塑膠鏡片。相較之下,玻璃鏡片可耐高溫,且透光度較塑膠鏡片稍高,但是玻璃易碎,且製造玻璃鏡片通常使用數道研磨製程,製造工時較塑膠鏡片長上數十倍,因此製造成本高出許多。At present, optical components, such as lens lenses, can be mainly divided into two major categories, namely glass lenses and plastic lenses. In contrast, glass lenses are resistant to high temperatures and have a slightly higher transmittance than plastic lenses, but the glass is fragile, and glass lenses are typically manufactured using several polishing processes, which are tens of times longer than plastic lenses. Manufacturing costs are much higher.

塑膠鏡片具有加工快速、大量生產時成本低廉的優點。然而塑膠鏡片通常使用射出成型或壓鑄成型等加工技術來生產,皆需要精密模具,而一套精密模具通常動則百萬台幣起跳,若為非球面鏡片的精密模具,其價格更是昂貴,且精密模具通常須耗時一至數月,才能製作完成。所以塑膠鏡片一般較適合數量龐大的市場,才能回收精密模具的成本。Plastic lenses have the advantages of fast processing and low cost in mass production. However, plastic lenses are usually produced by processing techniques such as injection molding or die-casting, and all require precision molds. A set of precision molds usually take off at a million Taiwan dollars. If it is a precision mold for aspherical lenses, the price is more expensive. Precision molds usually take between one and several months to be completed. Therefore, plastic lenses are generally suitable for a large number of markets in order to recover the cost of precision molds.

因此為了解決精密模具價格昂貴且製造時間甚久的問題,及有效利用地球資源,並使得塑膠鏡片也能同時適合少量多樣化及多量少樣化的生產模式,且進一步縮短投入生產的前置時間,這些已成為塑膠鏡片產業(包括塑膠光學元件)亟待解決的問題。本發明提出嶄新的概念與解決方法,能有效解決上述問題,大幅降低生產成本。Therefore, in order to solve the problem that the precision mold is expensive and the manufacturing time is long, and the use of the earth resources is effectively utilized, the plastic lens can also be suitable for a small number of diversified and multi-quantity production modes, and further shorten the front-end of production.

本發明將藉由下述之較佳實施例並配合圖示,作進一步之詳細說明。The invention will be further described in detail by the following preferred embodiments and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.

〔第一實施例〕[First Embodiment]

第一圖A及B為本發明第一實施例之光學元件生產過程之示意圖。請參照第一圖A,首先在容器10內部裝入液體12(例如是甘油、矽油、鹽水、糖水等,任何可以調整比重或表面張力等特性之流體),接著將自動點膠機的針筒16(也可使用手壓式針筒)***液體12中,再由針筒16中注入高分子材料前驅物14於液體12中,(另外也可以將針筒16置於液體12的液面上方,朝液體12注入高分子材料前驅物14)。請參照第一圖B,然後移開針筒16,並固化液體12中的高分子材料前驅物14,使形成由高分子材料所構成的光學元件14a。由於在液體中某一點位置所受到來自上下四方各方向的液壓是相同的,所以光學元件14a為球型,其大小可由注入的高分子材料前驅物14的量的多寡來決定。The first figures A and B are schematic views showing the production process of the optical element of the first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. A, first, a liquid 12 (for example, glycerin, eucalyptus oil, salt water, sugar water, etc., any fluid which can adjust characteristics such as specific gravity or surface tension) is placed inside the container 10, and then the syringe of the automatic dispenser is placed. 16 (a hand-pressed syringe can also be used) inserted into the liquid 12, and the polymer material precursor 14 is injected into the liquid 12 from the syringe 16, (it is also possible to place the syringe 16 above the liquid level of the liquid 12) The polymer material precursor 14) is injected into the liquid 12. Referring to the first drawing B, the syringe 16 is removed, and the polymer material precursor 14 in the liquid 12 is solidified to form an optical element 14a composed of a polymer material. Since the hydraulic pressure from the upper and lower directions is the same at a certain point in the liquid, the optical element 14a is spherical, and its size can be determined by the amount of the injected polymer material precursor 14.

至於固化的方法可使用光固化,例如使用紫外光照光以進行固化,因為其固化速率快,固化時間短。另外也可使用熱固化或選擇反應速率較快的雙劑型固化。As for the curing method, photocuring can be used, for example, ultraviolet light is used for curing because of its fast curing rate and short curing time. Alternatively, it is also possible to use a heat cure or a two-part cure with a faster reaction rate.

液體12可選擇與高分子材料前驅物14的密度(即比重)相當、且與高分子材料前驅物14不會產生化學反應,也不會互溶的液體。因此高分子材料前驅物14會懸於液體12中,而不至於沉澱或浮出液體12。The liquid 12 may be selected from liquids having a density (i.e., specific gravity) of the polymer material precursor 14 and which do not chemically react with the polymer material precursor 14 and which are not mutually soluble. Therefore, the polymer material precursor 14 will hang in the liquid 12 without depositing or floating out the liquid 12.

本實施例之製造光學元件的方法,具有生產速率快,不需要模具,可任意且迅速地依需求,來調整光學元件的大小,而不必更換多套模具。由於塑膠材料的成本很低,模具的成本則很高,且模具的製作時間又很長,本實施例之製造光學元件的方法可大幅降低生產成本,大幅縮短生產的前置時間,且達到幾乎是即時生產的特殊功效。The method for manufacturing an optical element of the present embodiment has a high production rate and does not require a mold, and can adjust the size of the optical element arbitrarily and rapidly according to requirements without having to replace a plurality of sets of molds. Since the cost of the plastic material is very low, the cost of the mold is high, and the manufacturing time of the mold is long, the method for manufacturing the optical component of the embodiment can greatly reduce the production cost, greatly shorten the lead time of the production, and achieve almost It is a special effect of instant production.

〔第二實施例〕[Second embodiment]

第二圖A至C為本實施例之光學元件生產過程之示意圖。請參照第二圖A,首先在容器20內部設置框架28,並注入液體22(例如是甘油)。此框架28可包括上下兩個圓框,如第二圖A所示。請參照第二圖B,然後將自動點膠機的針筒26***液體22中的框架28的上下兩個圓框之間的位置,再由針筒26中注入高分子材料前驅物24於液體22中。當注入高分子材料前驅物24的量較多而碰觸到框架28的上下兩個圓框時,由於受到圓框的擠壓,高分子材料前驅物24便形成橢圓體,如第二圖B所示。請參照第二圖C,然後移開針筒26,並固化液體22中的高分子材料前驅物24,使成為由高分子材料所構成的光學元件24a,其形狀為橢圓體。The second figures A to C are schematic views of the production process of the optical component of the embodiment. Referring to Figure 2A, a frame 28 is first placed inside the container 20 and a liquid 22 (e.g., glycerin) is injected. This frame 28 can include two upper and lower circular frames, as shown in the second figure A. Referring to FIG. B, the syringe 26 of the automatic dispenser is inserted into the position between the upper and lower circular frames of the frame 28 in the liquid 22, and the polymer material precursor 24 is injected into the liquid from the syringe 26. 22 in. When the amount of the polymer material precursor 24 is injected and hits the upper and lower circular frames of the frame 28, the polymer material precursor 24 forms an ellipsoid due to the extrusion of the round frame, as shown in the second figure B. Shown. Referring to the second drawing C, the syringe 26 is removed, and the polymer material precursor 24 in the liquid 22 is solidified so as to be an optical element 24a made of a polymer material, and its shape is an ellipsoid.

因此,藉由調整框架28的上下兩個圓框的直徑及相對距離,以及注入的高分子材料前驅物24的量的多寡,便可以製造出具有不同體積大小及不同曲面的橢圓體,從而定義出不同焦距等光學參數的光學元件。更進一步,上下兩個圓框的直徑並不一定要一致。當上下兩個圓框的直徑不同時,所製造出來的光學元件的上下曲面便會不同,這使得光學設計具備更多樣化。Therefore, by adjusting the diameter and relative distance of the upper and lower circular frames of the frame 28, and the amount of the polymer material precursor 24 injected, an ellipsoid having different volume sizes and different curved surfaces can be manufactured, thereby defining Optical components with optical parameters such as different focal lengths. Furthermore, the diameters of the upper and lower circular frames do not have to be the same. When the diameters of the upper and lower circular frames are different, the upper and lower curved surfaces of the manufactured optical components will be different, which makes the optical design more diverse.

另一方面,若框架28的上下兩個圓框沒有同時與高分子材料前驅物24接觸,也就是沒有擠壓到高分子材料前驅物24,則高分子材料前驅物24為球體。適當調整圓框與高分子材料前驅物24的相對大小,可以侷限高分子材料前驅物24於此兩個圓框之中,而不漂移。此時,圓框便具有定位的作用,可以避免兩個高分子材料前驅物24球體在固化前碰撞而變形。當然,作為定位用的框架就不須要一定是圓形,可以是三角形、方形、六邊形、八邊形等。On the other hand, if the upper and lower circular frames of the frame 28 are not simultaneously in contact with the polymer material precursor 24, that is, without being extruded into the polymer material precursor 24, the polymer material precursor 24 is a sphere. Appropriate adjustment of the relative size of the round frame and the polymer material precursor 24 can limit the polymer material precursor 24 in the two circular frames without drifting. At this time, the round frame has the function of positioning, and the two polymer material precursors 24 spheres can be prevented from colliding and deforming before curing. Of course, the frame for positioning does not need to be a circle, and may be a triangle, a square, a hexagon, an octagon, or the like.

實際大量生產時,可以使用陣列式針筒組,例如8×8陣列,共64個針筒26,且框架28也同時採用8×8陣列,共包括64組上下圓框,此時便可以在一次生產循環中,即同時產出64個光學元件24a,大幅提昇生產效能。當然,陣列內單元數量的多寡,可以視實際需要,進行適當地增加或減少。另外,陣列中每一針筒射出的高分子材料前驅物24的量的大小,及上下圓框的直徑大小與相對距離可以不同,所以陣列中所產出的同一批的光學元件24a的形狀大小就可以不同,使生產更具彈性與便利。In actual mass production, an array of syringes can be used, such as an 8×8 array, a total of 64 syringes 26, and the frame 28 also uses an 8×8 array, which includes a total of 64 sets of upper and lower round frames. In one production cycle, 64 optical components 24a are simultaneously produced, which greatly improves production efficiency. Of course, the number of units in the array can be appropriately increased or decreased depending on actual needs. In addition, the size of the polymer material precursor 24 emitted by each syringe in the array, and the diameter and relative distance of the upper and lower circular frames may be different, so the shape and size of the same batch of optical elements 24a produced in the array It can be different to make production more flexible and convenient.

〔第三實施例〕[Third embodiment]

第三圖A及B為本實施例之光學元件生產過程之示意圖。請參照第三圖A,首先在容器30內部裝入第一液體32a(例如是甘油、鹽水、糖水,任何可以調整比重或表面張力等特性之流體),接著再倒入一流體32b,其可以是第二液體(例如是矽油、植物油、礦物油,或是非油類等其他比重較第一液體輕的液體)。因為第一液體32a與流體32b互不溶的關係,所以第一液體32a(例如是甘油)與流體32b(例如是矽油)之間會形成一個介面。然後將自動點膠機的針筒36(也可使用手壓式針筒)***第一液體32a與流體32b之間的介面的位置,再由針筒36中注入高分子材料前驅物34於此介面,(另外針筒36也不一定要***到介面的位置,由於高分子材料前驅物比重介於兩種液體之間,故會沉或浮至介面的位置而固定)。請參照第三圖B,然後移開針筒36,並固化位於介面上的高分子材料前驅物34,使成為由高分子材料所構成的光學元件34a。The third figures A and B are schematic views of the production process of the optical component of the embodiment. Referring to FIG. 3A, first, a first liquid 32a (for example, glycerin, saline, syrup, any fluid which can adjust characteristics such as specific gravity or surface tension) is placed inside the container 30, and then a fluid 32b is poured therein. It is a second liquid (for example, eucalyptus oil, vegetable oil, mineral oil, or other non-oily liquids having a lower specific gravity than the first liquid). Because the first liquid 32a is in an insoluble relationship with the fluid 32b, an interface is formed between the first liquid 32a (e.g., glycerin) and the fluid 32b (e.g., eucalyptus oil). Then, the syringe 36 of the automatic dispenser (which can also use a hand-pressed syringe) is inserted into the interface between the first liquid 32a and the fluid 32b, and the polymer material precursor 34 is injected into the syringe 36. Interface, (in addition, the syringe 36 does not have to be inserted into the interface, since the polymer material precursor has a specific gravity between the two liquids, it will sink or float to the position of the interface and be fixed). Referring to FIG. 3B, the syringe 36 is removed, and the polymer material precursor 34 on the interface is cured to form an optical element 34a made of a polymer material.

第一液體32a與流體32b可選擇與高分子材料前驅物34不會產生化學反應,也不會互溶的液體。且第一液體32a的密度大於高分子材料前驅物34的密度;而高分子材料前驅物34的密度再大於流體32b的密度。所以高分子材料前驅物34會懸於第一液體32a與流體32b之間的介面。The first liquid 32a and the fluid 32b may be selected from a liquid that does not chemically react with the polymer material precursor 34 and does not dissolve. And the density of the first liquid 32a is greater than the density of the polymer material precursor 34; and the density of the polymer material precursor 34 is greater than the density of the fluid 32b. Therefore, the polymer material precursor 34 will hang over the interface between the first liquid 32a and the fluid 32b.

在本實施例中,可藉由調整第一液體32a、流體32b及高分子材料前驅物34三者的密度,來改變高分子材料前驅物34於介面上,所受到上下兩層液壓的大小,進而調整所製成的光學元件34a的上下兩面的曲面。In this embodiment, by adjusting the density of the first liquid 32a, the fluid 32b, and the polymer material precursor 34, the size of the hydraulic pressure of the upper and lower layers is changed by changing the density of the polymer material precursor 34 on the interface. Further, the curved surfaces of the upper and lower surfaces of the optical element 34a to be produced are adjusted.

另一方面,第一液體32a、流體32b與高分子材料前驅物34的表面張力性質,亦會影響曲面的變化,因此也可以在高分子材料前驅物34中加入流平劑等添加物,來調整其表面張力,另外也可以在第一液體32a或/及流體32b中加入能溶解的添加物,進行其表面張力的調整。On the other hand, the surface tension properties of the first liquid 32a, the fluid 32b, and the polymer material precursor 34 also affect the change of the curved surface. Therefore, an additive such as a leveling agent may be added to the polymer material precursor 34. The surface tension can be adjusted, and a dissolvable additive can be added to the first liquid 32a or/and the fluid 32b to adjust the surface tension.

本實施例中,高分子材料前驅物34的固化方法,可採用第一實施例中所述的各種方法,不再重複敘述。In the present embodiment, the method of curing the polymer material precursor 34 may be carried out by various methods described in the first embodiment, and the description thereof will not be repeated.

另外本實施例中的流體32b,也可以是其他流體,例如是氣體。此時,高分子材料前驅物34會浮在第一液體32a上方。藉由調整第一液體32a及高分子材料前驅物34兩者的密度大小,及流體32b的氣壓大小,便能調整所製成的光學元件34a的上下兩面的曲面。Further, the fluid 32b in this embodiment may be another fluid such as a gas. At this time, the polymer material precursor 34 floats above the first liquid 32a. By adjusting the density of both the first liquid 32a and the polymer material precursor 34 and the gas pressure of the fluid 32b, the curved surfaces of the upper and lower surfaces of the optical element 34a to be formed can be adjusted.

另一方面,當然也可以綜合本實施例與第二實施例的方法,也就是說,在第一液體32a與流體32b之間的介面的上下方,各置一圓框,來對高分子材料前驅物34的上下兩面的曲面作進一步的定義與設計。On the other hand, of course, the method of the present embodiment and the second embodiment can be integrated, that is, a circular frame is placed above and below the interface between the first liquid 32a and the fluid 32b to drive the polymer material. The curved surfaces of the upper and lower sides of the object 34 are further defined and designed.

綜上所述,本案提供一種光學元件的製造方法,完全不需要成本昂貴且製作費時的精密模具,可使得塑膠鏡片或塑膠光學元件能同時適合少量多樣化及多量少樣化的生產模式,且進一步縮短投入生產的前置時間,可大幅提昇產能,並顯著地降低生產成本。In summary, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing an optical component, which does not require a costly and time-consuming precision mold, and can enable a plastic lens or a plastic optical component to simultaneously accommodate a small number of diverse and multi-sample production modes. Further shortening the lead time for production can significantly increase production capacity and significantly reduce production costs.
